The Michigan connection---JFK's autopsy was botched, says famed metro Detroit pathologist who helped investigate

JFK's autopsy was botched, says famed metro Detroit pathologist who helped investigate | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Spitz said he had some benefits over others who speculate and construe scenarios.
He saw the pictures of the president during the autopsy, and he talked with Dr. James Humes, one of the people who performed the autopsy and later worked at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit.

He said Humes cried when he talked about the mistakes that he made during the autopsy.
For example, Spitz said, Humes threw papers containing notes from the autopsy and Kennedy’s blood into a fireplace at his home.
The blood had been on his gloves and was transferred to the papers.

When asked how the Kennedy case ranks among all of the cases in his lengthy career, he had a simple answer.

“When people are on the autopsy table, they are all the same,” he said."
